LIFE AS A CARDIAC PATIENT

  • Craig has been a cardiac patient since birth.
    • He had congenital heart issues.
      • Born with a whole in his heart, at age 3 he had surgery to fix this.
        • This then caused him more issues.
        • Since 7, he has required pacemakers which have required surgeries throughout his life.
  • He didn’t want to go to Vinnie for medical advice — but he realized to improve his health through his diet, Vinnie could help.
  • Now, Craig is writing a book.
    • It’s a journal to his daughters.
    • Craig had to take a leap of faith to have children because he feared his children would have the same issue.
  • In 2013, he became unresponsive. His daughters couldn’t wake him.
    • As a result, his kids are pretty mature — they grew up with a fragile dad.
  • Craig and his daughters create memories and value the time they have together.
    • Craig is doing well but living with heart issues is, of course, scary.

TAKING CARE OF WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL

  • On the keto diet, he lost 150 lbs in 10 months.
  • He got off — then he ran into more heart issues.
    • After, he got back on track with NSNG®.
      • Jody Ross initially introduced him!
  • He can still only walk 2 MPH, but he’s getting healthier and stronger.
    • His goal is to hike with his daughters and the like.
  • Vinnie and he talked about what he can do staying under 110 BPM.
    • Craig has his own zone – Zone 1.5!
